You have to want something more than cake, biscuits, chocolate, alcohol or crisps – to be slim, fit and healthy and this takes consistent action and being motivated.

Go from feeling fat and ugly, tired, ill with no confidence or self esteem - to -  feeling trim, healthy, fit, happy and confident.  Feel confident in your clothes and your body, confident moving your body. Enjoy shopping for clothes you love and that fit so well instead of buying clothe that cover the fat and bulges.

Learn to feel good about yourself and life again, be the best version of you.

This is what Sally said after completing the program:

It works….I was a typical yo-yo dieter for 30+ years, aspiring to be the size and shape I was in my early 20’s but never reaching my goal; making an effort one day but not the next and not able to maintain my motivation. A photograph opened my eyes to the reality of what I had become; I did not relate to the person in the photograph and yet I know that was how others see me. That was my wake up call, I was both embarrassed and ashamed and I needed to face up to the fact that it had been my choice (to be in denial) and now (more importantly) it is my choice to do something about it.

I was worried about (yet another) failure, to add to my list of many historical failures. I felt as though as I was getting older (and fatter), my physical health was being impacted by my size and time was running out because at some point losing the weight would be even harder if I could not exercise.

On the day of my first session I dusted off the weigh scales and got on. I should not have been surprised that my weight was higher than I had anticipated, however I was not going to give in at the first obstacle. I had paid my money up front, as requested, and despite wanting to run for the hills (not that I could run) I arrived at Angie’s home/office in her garden. Immediately I got the sense that Angie was non-judgemental and had the time for me to talk to her and for her to get to know me a little more. I am quite guarded, suspicious and cynical and did not wish to gush out my 30 years of angst.

Angie gave so much information in that first session that I struggled to recall it all and she gave practical actions (homework) to do that I felt empowered with a renewed sense of purpose. As for the hypnotherapy, I was thinking “I am not going to like this” and “I will resist” but I didn’t. Why would I when I was investing so much hope (and money) into this process? The hypnotherapy was a lovely relaxation session and Angie said so many things that resonated and made sense in a very supportive way, allowing me to question why I did things currently and how I could think differently.

At the end of that first session I went on my way with all the tips and hints racing in my mind, an appointment for the following week and a recording to listen to every day. Listening to this daily is so important as it continues to affirm your new way of thinking, creating my subconscious ‘block’ to returning to old habits.

After week 1, I shed 5lbs. Brilliant. Every day I make the commitment to listen to the recording and to follow every step Angie promotes. My weight has continued to reduce (25lbs now) and my exercise has increased. I love my Fitbit and creating a ‘group’ with family and friends has tapped into my competitive side. I have changed my routines, plan my shopping and meals, walk further, look for opportunities to use calories through exercise and I have more energy than I have had for a long time.

My resting heart rate has dropped so much in the past three months and to see that impact on my physical health has been such a motivation for me to invest in my future heathy life. No more will I be in denial but I am committed to continue to make changes to reverse my weight gain and reach my goal weight.
